sorry...couldn't resist.

well.. that's the problem.
This is not a nuclear reactor manuals.
This is supposed to be movie player.
And you can't seriously expect people to read the manuals ...
Have your read carefully 'man ls' before you first used 'ls' ?
I haven't.
 hehe - and have your read 'man man' before using man for the first
time?;)
 Users need forum for users - somewhere where they can ask all those
annoying useless questions, and where others which asked those questions
before would answer them. This would solve two problems - first, a lot
less annoyance for developers, and second - users would get the answer
in language they can understand.

I think the problem was accelerated by creating gui, this way attracting
more people that can ask stupid questions.
And, mplayer's gui looks too good. It should be ugly like aviplay's.
